In Inghilterra, alla fine del XIX secolo, il brutale e amareggiato marchese di Queensberry, che crede che il suo figlio minore, Bosie, abbia una relazione inappropriata con il famoso scrittore irlandese Oscar Wilde, mantiene una continua faida con quest'ultimo allo scopo di rovinarne la reputazione e causarne la caduta in disgrazia.
